...see how important I was as a California DA... I put criminals in jail for smoking "weed" The power I had with my pen!
"I just feel strongly that people shouldn't go to jail for smoking weed," she said Monday during an appearance on the video podcast All The Smoke, a video podcast hosted by former NBA players Matt Barnes and Stephen Jackson. "We need to legalize it."
She felt real "strongly" by locking up thousands. "According to the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR), at least 1,974 individuals were imprisoned for marijuana-related offenses on Harris's watch."
The Harris campaign called it a "lie."
A subsequent fact check by the San Francisco Chronicle, based on information provided by the CDCR, determined that the Free Beacon had undercounted the number of individuals sent to prison for marijuana convictions during Harris's tenure as attorney general. Even the new, higher figure of 1,974 was likely an undercount due to a California public safety initiative that rerouted many low-level, non-violent drug offenders to state jails, where they would not have appeared in state prison admission totals.
"Gabbard's attack on Harris's criminal justice record was bolstered by a comment Harris made in February 2019, when she laughed about smoking weed in college and endorsed legalizing the drug because "it gives a lot of people joy, and we need more joy." Harris withdrew from the Democratic primary in 2019 several weeks after Politico said her campaign had "no discipline, no plan, no strategy."
So share with us Kamala, how much joy did the "criminals" your pen locked up, enjoy? Seems if you weren't sucking on a joint there were other things you were en - JOYING. eek.
